The Copperbelt University (CBU) will now manage the affairs of Mukuba University in Kitwe; Chalimbana University in Lusaka will be under the management of the University of Zambia (UNZA), while Mulungushi University will oversee the activities at Kwame Nkrumah University in Kabwe.
Professor Luo said the boards in the newly created universities have been dissolved to allow people with wider experience to manage them as they grow into fully fledged higher learning institutions.
“The way we grow universities is for them to be managed by the existing old universities which have wider experience. This is the reason why we have dissolved the boards in our new universities and placed them under the existing ones for them to grow fast,” she said.
Prof Luo said this in Kitwe yesterday when she paid a courtesy call on Kitwe mayor Christopher Kangómbe and Kitwe district commissioner Binwell Mpundu at Kitwe City Council.
She said the boards in the three public universities will oversee the development of the three newly created universities, where government is building massive infrastructure.
Prof Luo also said Government will soon appoint a new board for Mulungushi University, which was recently dissolved because it had served two terms.
Prof Luo also said Government is in the process of creating a database to capture all the students that have benefited from its bursary schemes before launching the student loan scheme.
Meanwhile, Minister of Finance Felix Mutati has dissolved the board of directors for the Zambia National Building Society (ZNBS).
Mr Mutati has also dissolved the National Savings and Credit Bank Natsave board.
Both boards were dissolved with effect from end of business on Friday February 17, 2017.
This is contained in a statement released by Ministry of Finance public relations officer Chileshe Kandeta yesterday.
Mr Kandeta said Mr Mutati thanked the former members of both boards for their diligence, stewardship, skills and hard work during the period of service.
Natsave and ZNBS are both statutory institutions under the Ministry of Finance.
Mr Kandeta said Mr Mutati would soon announce the composition of the new boards.
Nkandu Luo has no authority to dissolve any boards for she is mascaraeding as minister & mp!
Luo is an illegal minister & mp together with Margaret Mwanakatwe~their parliamentary seats have been nullified by the courts. Everything the duo do is illegal~simple.
The Skeleton Key
~206~
HAS THIS ILLEGAL SO CALLED MINISTER PAID BACK HER ILLEGAL SALARY?
An illegal minister whose seat was rightfully nullified by the courts of law can even have the potency, the backbone, the muscle, the strength of dissolving University boards? what kind of foo1ishness is this
The Prof. exhausted her usefulness a long time ago, she has no new ideas….!
It is now time for them to add lungu and fellow corrupt sympathisers to these positions. They are cleaning satas system. Bunch of corrupt chaps
In what capacity is Nkandu acting?
Honourables Mutati and Luo, while we understand that you can appoint and disappoint the Boards, it’s necessary and imperative that you clearly do some introspection because the answer really don’t lie in dissolving these boards but what you the supervisors are made of.
For instance the construction of the new Palabana university has stalled and lost its anchor as very important ingredient to revive the Agriculture industry as directed by H.E. President Lungu.
The roads construction by that fake Indian company is also a non starter, so the question is do you want to lie to the people again as we approach 2021?
dissolve Zambia state Insurance boards as well
Dissolve yourself chimayo iwe. Its only in Zambia were this kindly of stupidity is allowed. An illegal minister dissolving a legal board? What a waste of space, professor my foot kuwayawayefye.
Wrong move. UNZA is a failed institution, why do they want these other learning institutions fall under UNZA
Ministry of Education failed to run HE and colleges now they want to destroy institutions of learning that are functioning.
NRDC is terrible, nothing is left of the place.Evelyne Hone is crap, too, take those over and re-modernise them.
In the 1970s and 1980s a diploma from NRDC was equivalent to a degree.
Nah a diploma is a diploma it can never equal a degree! just like a certificate be it post-graduate can never equal a diploma! Yes NRDC has been ruined yes Hone looks like a lost cause…bt certification from a college is different from a university degree …
NKANDU LUO IS VERY URGLY BANE TO SAY THE LEAST Mmmm.. WHAT DID THE LATE MANDA SAW IN THIS WOMAN, EDUCATION???
She used to be great looking as a young nachisungu girl, check her pictures from back then!
Mukuba university should brace itself to be turned into a bus terminus, all those trees will be cut down, the surrounding will start looking like a cattle ranch with overgrown grass. All staff houses on campus will be taken away and turned into offices massive tents will be pitched and the once beautiful institution will look like a refugee camp or a maize storage depot.
